saving up for our wedding 6 days ago

So far I have $1900 saved in a separate savings account. I’ve decided to set aside a conservative $300 each month for the wedding savings account.

i just found a really cool tip. to have a goal in mind and force yourself to think of it every time youre about to spend. and also to live below your means which ive started trying to do – saving a little more so i have a bit less to spend each week. so i constantly feel like i have limited funds rather than feeling like “woohoo what to do with my $200 this week!”
i guess goal-wise right now buying an apartment is at the top of my list. although i also really want to go to LA next year.

Im nearly there. I have $3800 at the moment but its taken me a year to get here. It sucks. I cant seem to stop frittering my pay away on food and alcohol. It is important to me to live a comfortable life and to reward myself and have fun. But I wish I had a bit more willpower to say no or was more aware of ways to cut corners and be clever. I dont want saving to become an obsession because I love luxury and I cant stand tight-asses! But I also really enjoy saving money and dreaming of what I might do with it. Usually its either travel or filmmaking, but I would also love to save for a deposit on an apartment.

Save $5000 2 months ago

I must save $5000. To do this all I really have to do is remain diligent in controlling my spending, and more readily consider what I really need to survive.

RAWK!!!! I feel so awesome for finishing this. But I have to start all over again because this is going towards a new roof that is badly needed and a new car to replace the one that got wrecked last month. :`( But it’s ok because I know I can do it again!
